Living at 2401 Octavia

This lovely example of classic New Orleans architecture welcomes you home, sitting on a corner lot with sought-after off-street parking for 2 vehicles.

Main floor

The main floor has gorgeous hardwood floors, beautiful built-ins, and French doors between the living and dining rooms. The foyer also has ample storage space, making it easy to keep the entryway clutter-free and welcoming.

Adjacent to the foyer, the spacious living room has a trio of windows overlooking the front porch, a stunning choice of wall color, and views of the neighborhood.

Dressed to impress, the formal dining room has the original decorative fireplace with mantle, built-in china cabinet, chandelier with ceiling medallion, and large windows that allow natural light to spill in. Perfect for your next dinner party, it sits conveniently between the living room and kitchen, making it easy to tend to guests and keep the party flowing.

One of the standout features of this property is the gourmet kitchen, designed for culinary enthusiasts. Boasting marble counters and floors, an oversized farm sink, a wine fridge, a butler’s pantry, a gas range, and a Bertazzoni Blue Star commercial-grade Italian oven, you’d be hard-pressed to think of anything to add here.

The marble-topped center island has additional seating for casual dining, a built-in desk and bookshelves provide storage galore, and the chic color choices will have you ooh-ing and aah-ing all day. Custom lighting and an industrial hood vent are marvelous finishing touches.

Don’t miss the surround sound system that allows you to fill the house and the outdoors with your favorite tunes as you create delicious meals in style.

The primary suite is another exceptional feature of this property, with a private bathroom renovated in 2021 to include heated floors and towel rack, a spacious double sink vanity, clerestory windows, and shining white subway-tiled walls. The custom walk-in shower is a luxurious touch that will make you feel like you’re at a spa every time you step inside.

Rounding out the main floor are another two bedrooms, a full bath, and a delightful den with a wall of windows to bring the outside in.

First floor

For those with multi-generational living needs, the first floor of the property offers two bedrooms and two baths. The fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar has marble counters, open shelving, and plenty of storage. Ideal for owners who wish to host guests in their own private spaces, there is a living room with built-in bench seating and cozy dining space with a one-of-a-kind wall mural.

Recessed lighting, exposed beams and columns, stackable washer and dryer, and tons of storage round out the first floor. Interior stairs connect this space to the main floor, but there is also a private entrance, making it ideal for providing peaceful independent living.

Outdoors

The outdoor space is equally impressive, with a saltwater pool and covered patio in the rear, and an expansive covered porch with a traditional swing in the front. The backyard is the perfect spot for entertaining guests, hosting a BBQ, or just relaxing, while the porch was made for sipping a drink while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
